Illinois 117 1950 Shot Glass Design

A Touch of Nostalgia for the Open Road

This shot glass design evokes the spirit of mid-century road travel in Illinois. The artwork centers around a classic representation of Illinois Route 117, as it might have appeared on a vintage road sign from the 1950s.

The Artwork: A Blast from the Past

The design prominently features the number "117" in a bold, period-appropriate font, reminiscent of the signage common during that era. Above the route number, the word "ILLINOIS" is displayed in a matching, large-letter typeface, mirroring the typical format used on state highway markers of the time.

The design intends to capture the essence of a bygone era. The overall aesthetic is designed to replicate the look of a vintage road sign, potentially featuring a rectangular or shield-style template. The design’s intent is to evoke a sense of nostalgia for classic American road trips and the simple elegance of mid-century design.

Meaning and Symbolism

The "117" and "ILLINOIS" lettering symbolizes the historical route itself, connecting the past and present. This design aims to connect the user with the journey and travel experiences of a bygone era.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
